I QUIT...Yes indeed. I quit. Can I say it again? I quit. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Yipeeeeeeeeee! I quit!

Yesterday morning I handed in my letter of resignation to our human resources department. It's still surreal. I've been here eleven years but the time has come. If 99 out of 100 days you go home and your 4-year old asks "How was your day Mommy?" and you can't think of a single good thing to say other than "I had a nice lunch", then it's time to move on.

Starting a new job in about two weeks. No more 45 minute commute (probably about 20 minutes). A place where they're excited to have me and think I can make a real contribution. A new beginning. Sounds nice, doesn't it?
